Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I just wanted to update you all on how my psychiatric appointment went today. The woman I spoke with was just a one-time sort who would help get me started on medication. I'll be following up two more visits with a different psychiatrist later on to see how things are going with the medication. They put me on Effexor and she gave me a list of group meetings I can attend for particular things I struggle with.
So I benefitted extremely from today's encounter and I believe everything is only going to get better from here. I'm just very glad I continued to look for help. I almost gave up on the idea. Anyways, thank you guys for all the support. This group is well over half the reason I've been able to push through my crappy days.
